"The Board suggests that Per Magnus Johansson is accepted as honorary member as a result of
the very valuable contributions he has made and is making for psychoanalysis in Sweden. He has been at the centre of the creation and support of a creative psychoanalytical
culture in western Sweden, among other things as founder of the Freudian association in Gothenburg and editor of Arche, journal of psychoanalysis, the humanities, and
architecture (formerly Psykoanalytisk Tid/Skrift). He is the author of several books, among others, Freuds psykoanalys (Freud's Psychoanalysis), in four
volumes (two volumes of which deal with the development of psychoanalysis in Sweden), and to a great number or articles. He is also responsible for volume IV of the Swedish
Freud-edition. His knowledge of and contacts with French psychoanalysis and its representatives are of great value for psychoanalysis in Sweden."
